Introduction
Connectors according to IEC 61076-4-101
remain compatible beyond the application. This specification
has been selected as the CompactPCI bus architecture by the
®
The 2.0mm hard metric connectors made by AVX are devel-
oped and produced in accordance to the international engi-
neering standards IEC 61076-4-101. Because of this users all
over the world have a standard for the connection of printed
circuit boards with high density connectors. The boards can be
changed from one system to another without any problems.
Important parameters like alignment, shielding and coding
PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG). AVX
connectors have been specifically designed to fit in Position
®
P1/P4, J1/J4 and P2/P5; J2/J5 for CompactPCI applications
and P0/J0 in the VME 64 extension format. AVX also offers full
custom connector service to meet the specific needs of given
markets and systems.
THE AVX ADVANTAGE
MODULAR SHIELDING
• Modular connector system with 2.0mm grid for
Modular shielding of female connectors enables high speed
data transmission in high frequency application. Reduces the
crosstalk level and allows an increase of the performance
to subnanosecond pulse rise time if used in a differential
pair application.
®
CompactPCI backplane and daughter cards.
• Insulators are beveled at each end to guarantee
accurate positioning on the printed circuit board.
• Five, seven and eight signal rows plus two shield rows
for optimum transmission performance.
12 different contact sizes for custom configurations
AVX vertical male hard metric connectors have 3 different
lengths at the mating side and 4 lengths at the terminal side.
The different lengths are required for certain earliest make
last break connections on signal or group contacts.
CODING
To avoid mixing printed circuit boards Type A connectors use
coding keys in accordance with IEC61076-4-101. Coding
keys are inserted into the multi-function cavity by hand.
APPROVALS AND SPECIFICATIONS
AVX hard metric connector system meets the requirements
of IEC 61076-4-101.
TYPE A MULTI-FUNCTION CAVITY &
PRE-ALIGNMENT GUIDES
Type A connectors are equipped with a multi-function cavity
and pre-alignment guides. The guides ensure proper align-
ment between the boards during mating. The cavity accepts
coding keys in accordance with IEC61076-4-101 to prevent
mis-mating of boards.
TELCORDIA (FORMERLY BELLCORE)
GR-1217-CORE
AVX hard metric connectors are designed to meet the
requirements of Telcordia Technologies (formerly BellCore),
GR-1217-Core.
ISO9001
The complete hard metric connector system is manufactured
in fully approved ISO9001 and QS9000 facilities.
PICMG®
The hard metric connector system meets the requirements
®
of the CompactPCI specification as defined by the PCI
Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group.
PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group, (PICMG), is a consortium of Industrial
Computer Product vendors with the mission of designing specifications for PCI-based
systems and boards to be used in industrial and telecommunications applications.
